BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

Only a few more days remain or lhe summer holiday season, and soon boys and girls nil over the land will be trooping back fo school. Johnny, who was in tho rouith gratis last year, has passed into the fifth, while Bessie has moved from the eighth grade into high school. They arc looking forward io meeting their new teachers and beaming aeguuiuled with new school mates. Their advancement from grade to grade are milestones along the way indicating ono form of growth. In our modern school system both Johnny ancl Bessie were examined last term by the school nurse and their height audi -weight recorded to ascer- lain il thoy were normally developed for their ages or underweight. -From time to iHnc their weights wore checked to determine if they were making gains or losses. Johnny gained nearly live pounds during the last term, bul Bessie did not do ciuito so well. The samo system of checking up their physical condition will be continued Ihis term. Thus is growth in another way revealed arid recorded. Prom year to year teachers aud parents can follow the growth of the children under their care in those two respocls. Examination papers, marks received, application displayed in -studies, passing irom grad^ to grade, into iugh rchool and college, tell tho story of mental growth, increase in knowledge-, ancl development of those powers of thought and concentration which mark iho advancement of onr modem civilization. Measurement charts and wtiglil tables, increased application in stucl.y, more vigorous enjoyment ol sports and all forms oi outdoor recreation, in like maimer reveal physical growth. These, two things arc fully demonstrable, and through our modern methods in education wc dcmonslate them. We know, by comparison ot Records extending over a period of years, thai fhe standard of intelligence is higher and tiut thu span of. life is being lengthened. It is well that those tests ancl measurements of the mental and physical development of the younger generation should be made, that records be kept, unrti that those bo compared and analyze! so that wo may know where strength nnd .weakness exists, and thus loarn the correctness ol Inlsity of tho methods being, employed. ' 7 Our school .system, however, has a greater function to perform than the 'giving of knowledge, -the development oi boys' or girls' mental faculties, and tho encouragement of right Jhitig loading to physical health and strength. Those-things are, afier all, but the foundation stones upon which to erect that noble structure which true education is designed-to build���character. ���_ .Our examination tests and physical records do not; and cannot, reveal whether as a result of the school term any hardening tola of character has been added lo thc wobbly pints*of any boy'.-; moral backbone, or any of tho essence of f-pirituality made moro fragrant any girl's standard of conduct. Intellectual equipment and boililv vigor without character, onlv servos to launch into the world ;i man or ���woman capable of doing greater harm than they could otherwise do. On the other hand, the development of a fine character, supported by bodily vigor and those attainments and refinements with which education endow, rosults in giving" to Ihc world the greatest of all gifts. Character training should bo lho aim ol education, first, last, aud all the time. No child is too young to begin 1\; no student is old enough to dispense with it. Those who provide education, whether IL be Ihe teacher, the parent, boards of school trustees, or the taxpayer whos money maintains our educational system in its entirely, aro engaged in fitting others to talco their places in the life and nctivitios of tho world.

Encourage Canadian Authors Assistance Should Be Given To Canadian Writers Dealing With Canadian Material The advice of lioberl Watson, Caua- dian novelist and poet, given at a session or tho" Canadian Authors' convention in Vancouver, was to make literature a crutch rather than-a staff. The Canadian reading public was limited and whero two or three well known authors had their works distributed years ago, thero wore scores today. He thought, however, that Canadian writers should get a num- boj'���.,ol' level-headed businessmen to take up the question of syndicating by Canadian newspapers, Canadian material by Canadian authors. , He laid special stress upon"the fact.that while the American Government taxed the. work of Canadians going iuto the United States, the Canadian Government put no taxes upon'the enormous flood of "American literature" circulated in Canada. - A very interesting talk upon his exj' perionces with publishers was given by Arthur Hemming, noted' Cjanadian author and illustrator. Britain Will Pay War Debts . To Show Example of Highest Stan- ard of International Honor Defending the accuracy of Winston Churchill's statement in his controversy with 'Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury of the United States, as to whether Great Britain's war debt was 'for commercial purposes, Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, replying to a question ln the House of Commons, has ro-afllrmed Great Britain's full intention to pay its debt without whining. J The d.obt controversy was raised just before tho House .of Commons adjourned until November 9, when Captain \V. "Wedgwood Benn, Liberal, said it was unfortunate that-lfr. Churchill had been drawn intb the squabble with Mr. Mellon and later thb -undignified broadcasting challenge to Senator AV.E. Borah. Captain Benn agreed that the set- 'tlemenl was straightforward an<J business, and that Prime Minister Baldwin has voiced the whole sonty mont of the country. "We got a material reward-la a very strong credit position, strong -cxcliange and stronger world commercial position," he *said. "This motive is recognized by lhc--..United States and President Coolidge himself declared it was au example of the highest standard of international honor." Captain Benn pointed out that the United States was extremely liberal with its money in other ways, aiding Europe since the war. The Baldwin settlement also was*"' defended ""by other Liberal - members, who'said tho prestige thus'gained was worth thc The Many-Purpose Oil.���Both in the house and stable there-are scores of uses for Dr. Thomas' Eclcctric Oil.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PURE BEER IN the past several years the public has been-told many things about beer, yet it is not surprising: that many people should not know what beer really is, for the merits of pure beer have been almost entirely neglected by controversioiuilists. ~~ Pure beer is-a scientifically made malt solution, derived from malted barley and flavored with hops. In this malted condition the grain is much more nourishing than in its natural state and the beer has many beneficial activities when taken as a beverage. In the first place pure beer is in itself a complete food, rich in proteins, maltose and dextrin, mineral salts and organic phosphorous compounds. It is superior* to either cider or wine in its nourishing qualities.' Consumed at tho rate of one bottle per meal, it would repldce 300 grammes of bread in food value, because' of its content of extractives, carbohydrates'and proteins. Pure beer assists valuably in thc assimilation of other foods, for, by reason of ils hop-bilter principles, ils weak alcoholic strength and its dissolved .carbonic acid gas, it exerts a-bcneficially stimulating action on the stomach. -' Beer is a beverage rich in-vitamines, so necessary to the well being of the human organism and as a defense' against disease.' It is aseptic, for thc wort has been completely sterilized by prolonged boiling in tho presence of the hop bitters, which are strongly antiseptic. The health-giving qualities of the pure beer sold to the people of British Columbia are secured and maintained in "the model plants of the Vancouver Brewery Limited, Rainier Brewing Co. of Canada Limited,* Westminster Brewery Limited, Silver Spring Brewery Limited, and the Victoria Phoenix Brewing Co. LRhilcd, members" rof the Amalgamated Breweries of British Columbia, which are models of scientific care and cleanliness. They, are open for-inspection at all times, and visitors are gladly, welcomed. mm�� BEER This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor ,..
